Blackbird’s Deliverance (Silent Secrets Series Book 4) by Lisette Kristensen – Review by Jenni Bishop

Blackbird's Deliverance (Book Four)Blackbird’s Deliverance by Lisette Kristensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blackbird’s Deliverance (Silent Secrets Series #4) by Lisette Kristensen is another action packed story that engrossing and enthralling as we once again journey along with Blackbird and the team in another adventure. Lisette is doing a great job at keeping the reader’s interest and the story just keep on getting better. The only problem I have is I wish the stories were longer. The stories are well written and short but they pack a punch and leave their mark. It is easy to see the world and characters due to the vivid writing. I do strongly suggest you read all books in order or you will not know how Blackbird comes about and how she got to where she is now.
Blackbird and the team are called in to find someone, only this one is too close to home.
A perfect afternoon read with a nice glass of wine or beer.

Whom Shall I Kiss… An Earl, A Marquess, or A Duke? (Tricking the Scoundrels #1) by Laura A. Barnes – Review by Jenni Bishop

Whom Shall I Kiss... An Earl, A Marquess, or A Duke? (Tricking the Scoundrels #1)Whom Shall I Kiss… An Earl, A Marquess, or A Duke? by Laura A. Barnes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Whom Shall I Kiss… An Earl, A Marquess, or A Duke? (Tricking the Scoundrels Book 1) by Laura A. Barnes is a wonderful historical romance book. I loved the storyline and the characters and often found myself laughing out loud at some of the thoughts and antics of the characters. It is a story I found myself not wanting to put it down turning page after page. I enjoyed Laura’s writing and the plot was well thought out. The MC is quite charming and is very likable, and I found myself enjoying the trouble she found herself in. I also enjoyed the character of Noah he is swoon worthy scoundrel but a fun character.

Sidney is a young socialite who does not play by the rules. She has decided to do an experiment to prove her theory on the goings on of the men of the ton. But what happens when the wheels are turned. Will she lose her chance at love.

It is a heartwarming tale and one who should not be missed. I look forward to Phee’s story

The Dreamer’s Vengeance by Helen Tyree – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Dreamer's VengeanceThe Dreamer’s Vengeance by Helen Tyree
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Dreamer’s Vengeance by Helen Tyree is a YA fantasy story that is action packed and a little dark in some places. This is my first read of Helen’s work and I enjoyed the story and I found her writing to be creative and unique and the well developed characters. Helen wove her tale that takes you on a vivid journey. There are many main characters and each of them tell their story throughout. The only problem I had was that there is no clear definition of when the characters are telling their story so I had to backtrack a little at times until I got the bones of Helen’s writing. It is a story that you will sit and devour as you need to know how it will all end. What happens when greed and lies call to you?

It is an enjoyable read and any YA who loves fantasy will like it too.

Orion's KissOrion’s Kiss by Claire Luana
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Orion’s Kiss by Claire Luana is an interesting and is a quick read. It is a YA paranormal story that is a twist on Greek mythology tales. Claire has a knack for writing unique stories and this one is no different. It is full of everything needed to make this read enjoyable, mystery and suspense, action and drama, danger and romance. There is also gods and seers and reincarnation. For me I would have like to see the story made in multiple POV’s, that is my preferred mode of a story being told but I do think it would have made the story that much stronger.

Revenge on her mind but when she actually comes face to face with her nemesis she realises that she has been looking at it all wrong.Orion’s perspective too.

Enjoy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Trouble with Paradise (Madeline Dawkins #4) by Cynthia Hamilton is another great mystery in this series. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and this book is no different. Cynthia’s writing always engages the reader and takes them on a journey with wonderful and lovable characters. I love suspense and trying to work out where the story is going and as always there are some twists that surprise you.

I adore both Madeline and Mike and how connected they are and how they will do anything for each other. But I love they way the think and solve their mysteries. In this book they are helping two women who have been accused of murder. Will they be able to solve the cases before time runs out.

I highly recommend this book and this series .

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Girls Across the Bay (The Knox and Sheppard Mysteries, Book 1) by Emerald O’Brien is a mystery thriller and a good start to the series. The story kept me glued to the pages and wanting to know what was coming next. It is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster and the storyline and the plot was well done. There are some dark moments in the book but there is also some light. The story was told in dual POV with the sisters which was great because it enriches the story being able to get inside their minds.

Madigan and Grace met in the foster care system and were manipulated and treated badly by those who should have loved them. Now adults, they are reunited but when a murder happens their past comes back to haunt them.

I look forward to the next book.

Scarlet Fever (A Johnny Delarosa Thriller Book 1) by David Stever – Review by Jenni Bishop

Scarlet Fever: A Crime ThrillerScarlet Fever: A Crime Thriller by David Stever
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scarlet Fever (A Johnny Delarosa Thriller Book 1) by David Stever is a thriller mystery that had me hook, line and sinker and had me on the edge of my seat, sometimes with my heart jumping. This is reminiscent of old detectives/PI’s but in modern times which adds to the feel of the story. The PI and friends are smooth and well-seasoned and can spot trouble a mile away except that is where this case is taking them. David’s writing sucks you into the drama and the danger and takes you on a journey that is so vivid you feel like you are on the case with them. This gripping tale will have you thinking all the way through and just when you thought you knew what was going to happen, you were thrust somewhere else.

Johnny takes on a case with nothing more than a couple of names and a huge retainer. But little does he know that this case would take him to the seedier side of life and perhaps come out with
his life, or not!

This is my first read by David and I enjoyed it so much that I look forward to more from Johnny and his buddies.

If you like good old fashioned detective stories with a modern twist then this is one book you should grab on to and enjoy the ride.

The Fisher Men X My Heart by Rebel Nicks O’Dey is a lovely romance story and one I really enjoyed. The story kept me glued to the pages and wanting to know what was coming next. It is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. There are just as many heartbreaking and heartwarming moments, one minute I was laughing out loud and the next breath I was in tears. There are some dark moments in the book but there is also light. Yes you will need the story for myself, kind of like unwrapping a christmas present. The bonds and friendships between the characters is one of love and caring and they are also very protective of one they consider their own.

The woman they love and whom they have helped shaped has returned but who will she pick?

I was hooked from the start and look forward to reading more from Rebel.

Aiko (The Heartstrings Series Book 1) by Brooke May is a romantic comedy and a wonderful original idea. Brooke has written a winner with this story that drew me in from the start and I found myself getting lost in the story. You can;t help but fall in love with this cupid as she is unique and I found myself laughing out loud with her antics. Being the worst cupid out of all but is certainly not for the want of trying.

Aiko is once again on an assignment to help Alejandro Gomez find love but nothing ever goes quite like she would like.

You really need to grab a copy of this clever and interesting story. I know you will fall in love with it. I am counting down until I can get a copy of the next book. Well done Brooke.

The Fish that Climbed a Tree by Kevin Ansbriso is a story that has a little bit of everything from humour and fantasy, immortality and cruelty, murder and violence, the afterlife and coming-of-age, mystery and thrills, ghosts and a lot more. Kevin has written a story that is very imaginative and thought provoking. He leads us on a wild journey where anything is fair game and his storytelling is very vivid. There is a cast of characters that you will either love or hate which brings a different narrative and picture to the whole book.

It is one book that you will have to read to understand the simplicity in the complexity.

There is a well developed plot with twists and turns and Heather’s use of suspense keeps you reading to find out what happens.

Children Of The Future by Jane Suen was not what I expected and the premise of the story was ok but it didn’t hit its mark with me but it is aimed with YA’s in mind. It is a YA suspense that is a quick and easy read. I note this was her first book and her writing has vastly improved with the other books I have read of hers. I found it hard to read due to the narrative but that is more my personal preference. There is a lot that I feel Jane could have written to make it even more suspenseful and give the story and characters more substance. The story starts off slow but then picks up and gains momentum but then it just stops, where I am left wondering what just happened.

Even though it wasn’t enough for me, I am sure others will enjoy it.

Wayward is a great start to another of her fabulous series and has many of my old favourites from her other series. Hot alpha men looking out for their own with the backing of their employers who trust them like family. And the romance is all hot tamale and sizzling to the point of boiling. Via has once again woven her magic and puts you through hoops where the drama and secrets, fear and pain, love and lies is palpable and we travel to exciting place. There is conflict with some of the most powerful and dangerous men in the world including several mafia families.

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano is a short paranormal story that is fun and original. Even though it is a short story it packs a punch and it has everything needed to keep you entertained and intrigued. What mystery does this hotel hold? What is going on behind closed doors? There is action and battles, magic and danger, suspense and hurt, secrets and romance and this is only part of what to expect. When there are many magical beings such as Vampires and Witches, Elves and Fae all in one place things tend to get a little tense and the place to go to let off a little steam is the gauntlet. Ashley has done a great job of adding her spin on the supernatural beings and the place in which they dwell, giving them a new light.
Ommily has always been drawn to the unknown, the more mystical side of life and has come to the one place that may hold all the answers she seeks.
Link has been alone for a very long time. Always under the impression that he was the last of his kind but the stunning creature that just walked in the door is more than what she first seems.

This magical world draws you in and almost seems that it is real and you are as much a participant as the characters. If you love the paranormal then this is a book that you will love. Go on you know you want to.
